What are your daily habits?
AM daily’s:
• give Mushu her insulin
• get dressed
• brush teeth
PM daily’s:
• dinner
• give Mushu her insulin again
• shower
I also write here in my blog typically sometime during the day on most days. I’d love to say I wash my face every morning, but that’s definitely more sparingly LOL.
Happy Friday!! Lorde’s new album came out! I have already listened through twice considering it is only 35 minutes long, and I love it! I have a nail appointment today, and we’re going to our friend’s game night tonight, and then tomorrow morning I get my hair done and we have another friend’s house-warming party! It’s going to be a great weekend! Who else has fun weekend plans??
What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten?
I remember getting this King Crab Alfredo at this seafood restaurant many years back and literally was the best meal I’ve ever had.
I saw this post that said something along the lines of “start thinking of people as energy, you’ll spend your time wiser.” There’s just no point in spending time with energy vampires, all they do is suck the light out of you.
High school never ends until you decide it does. No matter where you work or where you further your education, you’ll have people around you who still want to spread lies and drama as a form of their own entertainment. It is up to you if you’re going to feed into that energy.
Gratitude is a magical thing. I find that I am so much more present and happy when I practice daily gratitude.
Success and being “rich” looks different to everyone- get specific with yourself about your dream life. What does it look like?
Love is always the answer, and I believe that no amount of material items could replace the feeling of genuine love and connection.
If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be?
Yoga pants, crop top, open toed fuzzy slippers.
How important is spirituality in your life?
It is quite important in my life at this time, and I feel like this recent loss in the family has had me really leaning into faith. I’ve seen so many signs that our loved one is still with us- she even visited me in a dream last night. I think she was trying to tell me that it never matters what others think or say about you, what matters is you follow your own dreams and do it now, because you never know how much time you have.
I know astrology sometimes goes hand in hand with spirituality, and I’ve been seeing a lot of posts about today (June 24) being a lucky day for everyone. Jupiter sits in Cazimi – which apparently means that Jupiter “sits in the heart of the sun.” Astrologers believe that means today the universe is answering our dreams, as long as we’re bold enough to ask for them. It’s a good morning to sit and think about what makes you feel the most joy in this lifetime.
For me, I feel joy when I’m with genuine, supportive people. I love being with good friends, having deep conversations, celebrating our evolutions, and just laughing at everything. I feel fueled after a good connection; I feel good after making someone feel empowered and uplifted. I feel good when I am being intentional with love, and when I am in tune with the universe.
Oh Monday, why do you always arrive so fast!
Time to check in and count some blessings. Life’s been feeling heavy lately, and I am ready to release this energy and allow good vibes to flow. I know there is so much beauty beyond the pain when we are present enough to see it.
I am grateful for my husband- I’m blessed to have someone in my life who is such a supportive, caring person; truly my rock. I feel like I have a teammate in this lifetime, and I am so happy to see our evolution throughout the years. He makes me feel beautiful every day, and I just feel so lucky to have him in my life.
I am grateful that we both have our jobs. We’re blessed to have jobs that allow us to live our life comfortably, and we’re blessed to not hate our jobs as well. I’m very grateful to be at my current job, and honestly I can’t see myself leaving unless I actually get to be a stay at home mom one day. My husband has climbed up through departments at his job over the last ten years, and I’m just so proud of all of his growth.
I’m grateful for our home. We everything we could ever need in our home. From food and clean water, to appliances and electricity- we’re blessed to have access to all of these things and to be able to afford them.
I’m grateful for my genuine friends. I am blessed to have friends who truly love and support me for who I am. I have friends who don’t see me as competition or anything other than a loved one, and that’s how I see them as well. We all just want to see each other thriving and happy.
I am grateful for sunshine and nature. Sitting in the grass and just being still while soaking up the sun has been a way for me to ground myself and kind of let go. I’ve done this a few times during my current grieving, and I will say it feels good to just sit in it all. Being in nature just reminds me of how small we all are in this world, and how blessed we are to just be here.
More than honorable mentions: my cats, iced coffee, music, my car, slippers, yoga pants, my comfy bed, shampoo, youtube… there are truly so many things I could list, and for that I am also grateful. I live an incredible, abundant life, and although it feels heavy and dark at times, I know how lucky I am, and I know how important it is to check in and count our blessings.
Write about your first crush.
I remember being really young, I think I was 7 or 8 when I had a crush on the neighbor boy. I just remember that I thought he was so cute and so cool, and he was definitely a grade or two older than me so he was not interested at all LOL I’m sure he looked at me like a kid- but literally we both were kids.
Today we went to my husband’s cousin’s funeral- it was rough. I swear I was the only one who was crying and not composed- and I’m like damn, am I really the only one who feels? To be fair, the older we get, the more loss we have to experience. I’m sure many of the older people have been through this so many times that they may be more used to it- or numb to it. I’ve felt that numbness before, but today it was just waves- like I was feeling all the things that everyone else was refusing to feel.
